Title: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: domoaligato on Thu, 27 June 2013, 22:27:05: (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=44707.0;attach=25413;image)

This is an Interest Check thread to determine how many people would be interested in buying a iMav avatar keycap.

IMSTO has agreed to make them if there is enough interest in them.

I have received permission from iMav to persue this and the vector art conversions done by smallfry will be used to create the keycaps.
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44707.msg929148#msg929148

$1.00 USD will be added to the price of each key to donate to geekhack.org and this is non profit of course.

DON'T FORGET TO ORDER YOUR iMAV T-SHIRT http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44849

Please post here and show your support and interest.

Those keys are hilarious. The roll back days really sucked.

Post by: aggiejy on Fri, 28 June 2013, 00:26:36: I thought someone made these before, no? I know I mocked it up a year or two ago, but then I thought someone did one. Either way, kinda cool!
Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: domoaligato on Fri, 28 June 2013, 03:46:37: I am leaning towards the black on white, what do you think? can one of you please make a poll for this after we get a few more ideas?
Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: samwisekoi on Fri, 28 June 2013, 07:57:02: I'm in. Black on White by preference, although Imsto "white" matches no one else's White.

White on Black in 1.25 bottom row would make a great not-Windows keycap as well! "Press iMav and type regedit..." Can't do that with dye-sub, alas.

lol this is a great idea. we have enough esc keys. 1.25/1.5 mods would be cool.

keep the ideas coming for the poll!

Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: SeriouSSpotS on Fri, 28 June 2013, 13:18:25: I'd be in for a couple.
Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: rowdy on Sat, 29 June 2013, 01:32:12: Or a set, comprising 2 * 1.25 modifiers and 1 * Esc?

that sounds cool also.
Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: nubbinator on Sat, 29 June 2013, 02:30:32: Assuming it's not too expensive, I'd probably be in for one or two.
Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: kurplop on Sat, 29 June 2013, 07:53:01: I'm not a big fan of novelty keycaps but you've reeled me in on this one. I would put the artwork of the imav avatar right up there with the Mona Lisa. Don't you just find yourself mesmerized by that look of contempt and wonder what you did to offend him?

Sign me up!

Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: hashbaz on Sat, 29 June 2013, 12:30:43: In for one or two. +1 for modifier keys rather than Escs. Black on orange would be awesome.

Post by: domoaligato on Thu, 08 August 2013, 13:12:43: so far only 13-15 people have expressed interest in this.
This might not be cancelled.

Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: domoaligato on Thu, 08 August 2013, 13:43:47: I have to ask imsto more about moq for his work but I am sure that if it is only 13 it is not worth his time.
Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: domoaligato on Thu, 08 August 2013, 21:19:07: ok IMSTO has no moq. he is awesome! I will open a actual GB thread later tonight!
Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: rowdy on Thu, 08 August 2013, 21:50:30: Yay!

Any decision on colour?
Title: Re: [IC] iMav PBT IMSTO Keycap
Post by: domoaligato on Thu, 08 August 2013, 22:07:12: I think black on white like the OP.
bunnylake is also going to run some shirts that match.
